In the begining of this book it took place on a planet that they just had made civilized. The main character, Gildoran, was really heart broken because he had just broken up with a girl that they had just civilized. But he somewhat has feelings for other girls on the Gypsy Moth, which is their ship. When they find another planet to civilize a lot of wierd stuff starts to happen to some of the crew members as they are exploring this planet. What eventually happens they find out that there are creatures on the planet that send off noises that cannot be heard by human ears, which causes headaches and other illnesses. Once the captain of the ship dies mysteriously thats when the crew memebers begin to worry if the planet is safe for other beings. As they reasearch more they find out that the butterflies that they thought were harmless were in fact the creatures that were making them sick and can even kill if the person is weak to begin with. When they find out that the beautiful planet they landed on was unsafe and impossible to make it livable for other beings, they pack up the transmitters and other devices and take off in search for another planet. At the end Gildoran falls in love with Gilrea, who all the crew memebers predicted that he should have been with the whole entire time and then they fall in love.
This book wasn't actually that bad. Normally I hate reading science fiction but this book had a little love story with it, which was kind of cute. But mostly this book was about a person trying to find himself.

Conflict
In my book the "Endless Voyage" there are many conflicts. For example:
Man v. Nature. Where the captian of the ship was searching around this new planet that they landed on and then he suddenly mysteriously died, for no reason. They think that he might have been attacked by an insect.
Man v. Self: The main character of the book is struggling with who he loves. Everyone thinks that he should fall in love with one of his long time old friend. But he doesn't love her that much to commit to her. He then starts to find other girls but he still keeps going back to her. He is very confused about who is in love with.
Man v. Society: When one of the crew members land on other planets sometimes they are not accepted by their people. Because they are known for stealing babies sometimes. So in some societies they are not accepted and sometimes they do not come back to the ship alive.

Star Wars II
After finishing Star Wars, it really left the audience with a cliff hanger. With San Holo being caught by the bounty hunter and Luke and Leia being seperated from Chewbacca and that other new dude. Even though we found out that Darth Vadar was Luke's father it left me questioning how could he be his father? It really didn't make any since to me. But then yet agian I never saw Star Wars all the way through until now.
I don't really get the "force" thing. It doesn't make any since to me, is it just a family thing? How can they hear what the other person is saying as if they were sitting next to each other? This part of the movie doesn't make any since to me.

Star Wars
Honestly, watching Star Wars isn't as bad as i thought. I have never sat down and watched one of the movies before, but i have had some basic knowledge of the characters. Like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Darth Vader, etc. This movie has all the good things that make a movie great. Like you have the good vs. evil (Darth Vadar vs. Luke Skywalker) and a little love story between the princess and Han Solo, it has a great plot.
The good vs. evil aspect of the movie is typical. The evil is well known from the begining by wearing black. Darth Vadar is the typical bad guy. He wears black has a cape and i love it how the music all of a sudden turns whenever he is in a scene. The good person is of course Luke Skywalker he looks a little boyish and has little kid type of attitude.
As much knowledge that I had of the plot before I watched the movie. I was shocked that I didn't know that much as I had suspected. There is a lot of details that I didn't know and I also didn't know that much about the characters either.

Faith
In my book "Endless Voyage" it doesn't talk or deal with anything of faith. It doesn't talk about anything that deals with religon in any way. Its mainly a story about the relationships between the crew members of the Gypsy Moth.

The Star
The Star is a short story based in futrue about space explorers. The main point of the story isn't the point of exploring, it raises the topic of religion vs. science. For these explorers the mission that they set out for was to reach the Phonex Nebula and visit the remanats of a supernova and research why it happens throughout the universe. While there they found a small planet which was a shock amoungst the crew of the ship. When they land on the planet they find out that it resembles earth. Amongst the crew members there is a Jesuit priest whom questions his beliefs in God. He wonders why God would do this to people? Even some of the crew memebers begin to question there own religon. Throughout the universe there are many suns that explore and everytime there will be a race or species that die. At the end of the short story its like he is fighting with himself saying "why would a god do this to his own?" but then he come back saying "God has no need to justify His action to man."
